Although Bruce did run in the Spring season of 1973 for Bowie, this is the first official Bowie Senior High Team picture that includes him.   Quoting the Bowie Blade article that appeared in September of 1973 "Under William Boyd, their new coach, the Bowie Senior High School Cross Country team is starting a new year with high hopes.  Under a new team rebuilding program, they will be working 'through' meets.  The team's top runner this year is Bruce Winstanley.  He is one of the best runners in AA competition.  During early practices he made a good showing and is expected to do well.  In the words of Coach Boyd 'competition watch out'"
